Good thing I don't have any close neighbors. I now have 18 of the little screechers.

My crowd doesn't roam. They have a compound that's the size of my house, some covered, some not. They seem to like it.
I can tolerate the noise. They're SUCH interesting animals.

Peacocks are pretty amazing.
But screaming for help at such volume gets tiresome.

Only 18??
We, or I should say, my wife had about 40 of the buggers. That's until the grove workers found out that Peacock meat bears a strong resemblance to turkey.
Thank you Lord for oranges...
To: EggsAckley
WOW! What a beauty!! Are the feathers white or colored???

She's pure white. Very rare, since her mother was half-white and her father was the big India Blue.
This summer there is a chick that started out as white, but now has dark speckles around his body and shoulders. And a yellow band around his neck. I'm hoping he'll turn into a male; should be gorgeous!

Well, for many years my Dad was CEO at a large winery, and there were hundreds of peacocks wandering around the grounds of the office building. Every time Dad would call me, I could always hear, over the phone, the birds hollering outside. After Dad passed, I missed those phone calls, and thought, what the heck.....I'll get my OWN peacocks. Fortunately I live in a wilderness area, and my neighbors can barely hear them.

Somebody down the road has at least two peacocks to go with his chickens, turkeys, goats, and visiting geese. They like to walk down the sidewalk and sit on top of cars. As far as I know, nobody seems to care.
I think they're beautiful birds.

And they're VERY interesting to study, as far as their little "society" goes. Of course the pecking order is there, but beyond that, there are times that the two males run the hens ragged, chasing them and grabbing at them. The whole cage sometimes looks like those videos from Afghanistan where the Taliban men chase the women around and swat at them with sticks. It doesn't happen often, but it's dramatic when it does.
Oh, and they make a lot more sounds than just that "cry for help." Very complex language.
